When I depress the start button, I am getting only the blue light. I want to both heat and froth the milk so what can I do to get the milk to heat?

I returned the item -- the froth is microbbubbles, so if you want tiny bubbles, it is fine. I got heat only, no bigger bubbles. I gave up on frothers.

My Secura frothier starts with with one push of the button for both blue and red lights to come on indicates it is heating. Only if I hold the start button down for several seconds does the blue light go off and it froths only.

It should warm and froth the milk at the same time. If you just want to just warm it, switch out the coil with the other replaceable spinner on the underside of your lid. Does that help?

You have to press the butten 2x it will turn it off when you push it again both lights should be on and do both froth and heat.

I think you may be pressing the button too long. If you press and hold the on button for 2-3 seconds, the blue light will be lit and do frothing only. For frothing and heating, I just press the button and both red and blue come on. Also, if your blue light is flashing it means there is too much milk.

I tried a few things, and one of them seems to have fixed the problem, but I'm not exactly sure which. One thing was to let it keep heating up for another ten or so minutes even after the OK light came on. Another was to let off some steam while it was in the espresso drip mode. Another was to use the steamer first and then switch to espresso setting. As I say, I have no idea which one of them did the trick, but now the espresso pump works immediately after the OK light goes on. Good luck!

More than likely your milk is not hot and cools off the espresso. I have had that problem too. You need to keep steaming for almost 2 mins to get it hot.

Is the light for heating still red when you run the brew pump? Wait til it goes off to brew. You have to tamp the grind to get a puck. I tamp down pretty hard 3 times. Best foam is dry. Tilt your steam pitcher and just touch the surface of the milk with the steam wand; you want a soft hiss noise, not a gurgle noise. Don't dip the wand tip into the milk unless you want hot milk, not foamed milk. Start with very cold milk, it's the difference in temperature that makes nice dry foam. If finished brew isn't hot enough, put steam tip in the coffee first, and let it run several seconds.

I have no problems frothing but have never used raw milk. Full cream milk is much more difficult to froth. Cannot answer why it froths cold not hot although I did return mine for a replacement as it never frothed hot but that was a fault with the machine. The replacement works well with no problems.

If the machine is working: lights are on, buttons work, and no leaking from other parts; then I would agree with the other posts. It could just be a clog in the nozzle. When I use the steamer/frother I make sure to take it apart and clean it really well. It can be a bit of a hassle, but it is surprising how much milk gets in the nozzle.

Not sure but I think it is steam. I cannot get the milk to foam, it just heats up, can you help with this problem?

TO JUST HEAT UP MILK NO. MAYBE IF YOU DON'T PUT THE ATTACHMENTS ON.There are 3 settings, High Heat, Regular Heat and No Heat(JUST COLD FROTH). 2 Attachments, one for light froth and other Cappuccino.Has level marker inside to pour milk, very hard to see.BUT I'VE ALWAYS FIND MILK A BOTTOM NOT DONE.MOST OF ALL IT'S VERY HARD TO CLEAN.

This happened to me. The instructions say it must be "fresh" milk. When I got new milk, it frothed properly. Also make sure your levels are correct and you don't press the button too long.

I've taken to frothing first then doing the pull of espresso. A good froth can sit for the 2 minutes or so for the pull. You might try doing a wet pull (sans coffee) then doing your froth when the light goes off then doing your pull of espresso. The water will be hotter all the way around that way.

At first I thought the milk was luke warm (never temped it). Then I found a solution. Simply heat your coffee cup! Fill your coffee cup with very hot water and let it sit while you prepare your drink. Then dump the water out of your cup before adding espresso and milk. Piping hot latte every time!

It should be very hot after the soy milk is done. Maybe you selected the "juice" option which it will only cuts the fruit but not heating up the juice. Or your machine is not working properly. You should contact the seller. Their customer service will be able to help you.

You should be using a thermometer to steam the milk. My bet is that you need to take the milk to a higher temperature to get the hot espresso you are seeking.

My old machine did that for couple of years and new one does it sometimes. I think you are ok. Sounds like it's building up pressure. Sometimes I think it gets clogged a little in the steamer and takes a little extra pressure to punch it through. Make sure you run your steamer for couple of second after you steamed your milk to clear up port.

Upon reading other answers, I see that one person received a frother in a box that said do NOT heat the pot on the stove. My box didn't have any instructions. To be safe, heat the milk in the microwave first.
